Step 1: Brainstorm for ideas

Choose a topic that interests you. Use the following questions to help generate topic ideas.

• 
  Do you have a strong opinion on a current social or political controversy
  
• 
  Did you read or see a news story recently that has piqued your interest or made you angry or anxious?
  
• 
  Do you have a personal issue, problem or interest that you would like to know more about?
  
• 
  Do you have a research paper due for a class this semester?
  
• 
  Is there an aspect of a class that you are interested in learning more about?
  

Look at some of the following topically oriented Web sites and research sites for ideas.
 

• 
  Are you interested in current events, government, politics or the social sciences?
  
  • 
    Try Washington File
    
• 
  Are you interested in health or medicine?
  
  • 
    Look in Healthfinder.gov, Health & Wellness Resource Center or the National Library of Medicine
    
• 
  Are you interested in the Humanities; art, literature, music?
  
  • 
    Browse links from the National Endowment for the Humanities
    
• 
  For other subject areas try:
  
  • 
    the Scout Report or the New York Times/ College Web site
    

Write down any key words or concepts that may be of interest to you. Could these terms help be used to form a more focused research topic?

Be aware of overused ideas when deciding a topic. You may wish to avoid topics such as, abortion, gun control, teen pregnancy, or suicide unless you feel you have a unique approach to the topic. Ask the instructor for ideas if you feel you are stuck or need additional guidance.
